They probably feel disappointed that it didn't quite live up to expectation. There was probably some effort to getting there to see him, especially.

Following the Black Sheep 'Ni Dios Ni Amo' evening where I hear Julian had personally kept a low profile - thus allowing attention to be focused more on his collaborators - And then, of course, that (Latitude?) festival appearance where the plug was pulled, they just wanted to see a big, proper Julian Cope gig. It has been a while, after all.

Speaking for myself, I'm certainly ready to see him playing live again.
